Save Money by Monitoring Your Energy Consumption with PEL Power Loggers

In today's economic climate, managing energy consumption effectively isn't just good for the environment - it's a vital part of cost-saving for businesses and organisations. The PEL Power Logger Series by Chauvin Arnoux offers the tools you need to monitor, analyse, and optimise your energy use, helping you reduce waste and lower expenses. With applications across industries and a variety of advanced features, the PEL series makes energy management accessible and actionable.

 

Key Features of the PEL Power Logger Series:

The PEL Power Logger Series includes a variety of advanced features designed to make energy management simple, effective, and focused on helping you save energy:

  • Comprehensive Measurements: Monitor voltage, current, power, energy, and harmonics for a complete view of energy usage.
  • Long-Term Recording: Analyse trends over extended periods to identify areas where you can save energy.
  • Easy Installation: Compact, magnetised housing makes installation simple, even in tight spaces, without interrupting power.
  • Real-Time Data: Access live measurements via USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi to instantly spot issues and save energy.
  • Software Integration: PEL Transfer software turns energy consumption data into actionable insights, including cost-saving calculations in local currencies (£, €, $, etc.).

 


 

 

A Solution for Every Sector

The PEL Power Logger Series is user-friendly and suitable for a wide range of applications, enabling organisations in every sector to save energy:

Renewable Energy Systems:

Whether you're managing solar farms, wind turbines, or hydroelectric plants, the PEL series helps you track energy generation and consumption. This ensures optimal use of renewable resources, reducing waste and allowing you to save energy more effectively.

Industrial Processes:

Industries with high energy consumption, like metallurgy, glassmaking, and chemicals, benefit from the detailed diagnostics provided by the PEL series. By identifying inefficiencies, these industries can save energy and streamline operations, reducing costs.

Construction and Renovation:

For commercial buildings and residential projects, energy diagnostics during construction or renovation help create efficient systems that save energy in the long term. The PEL series enables energy audits and identifies inefficiencies in electrical systems.

Public Infrastructure:

From lighting systems in tunnels and motorways to rail networks and public services, energy management is key to cutting operational costs. PEL loggers monitor energy use, making it easier to save energy and reduce expenses in public systems.

Data Centres:

With their significant power requirements, data centres can achieve substantial cost savings by using the PEL series to monitor power quality, balance loads, and eliminate inefficiencies. This helps optimise these energy-intensive environments and save energy effectively.

4 TIPS: Save Energy with Effective Monitoring

 

The PEL Power Logger Series is designed to help businesses save energy and cut costs in several ways:

1) Identify Energy Inefficiencies

Pinpoint areas of energy waste, such as unbalanced loads, inefficient equipment, or unnecessary standby power consumption. By addressing these issues, businesses can save energy and reduce expenses.

 

2) Improve Operational Efficiency

Detailed diagnostics of equipment, including motors, HVAC systems, and lighting, ensure peak performance. This reduces energy use and minimises downtime, helping you save energy and optimise operations.

 

3) Prevent Overbilling

Accurate energy monitoring ensures you pay only for what you use. The PEL series provides the data you need to verify utility bills and prevent overcharging, helping you save energy and money.

 

4) Plan for the Long Term

Track energy trends over time with long-term recording capabilities. This data enables informed decisions about upgrades, renovations, or maintenance schedules to save energy and reduce costs in the future.

 


 

 

A Versatile Tool for Energy Management

The PEL Power Logger Series meets the diverse needs of industries and organisations worldwide. Whether conducting an energy audit, optimising renewable energy systems, or managing industrial equipment, these tools provide the insights needed to make smarter decisions and save energy.
